In this Stellaris challenge we will only be taking a single system and trying to liberate the entire galaxy! Will we be able to hold off the evil, authoritarian empires that surround us? Can we survive a galactic crisis? Can we stay true to our values?
In the name of the Alliance of Free Sentients we swear that we will try to bring freedom to the galaxy, to defend the constitution of Freedonia and to further the universal rights of all sentient life!
For Freedom!

The Freedonians: “We will not expand, for the galaxy should belong to all sentient life.”
Also the Freedonians: “for settling the system next to us, you will make reparations!”
Are we sure the Freedonians aren’t just a Fallen Empire in disguise?
Secretly a xenophobic FE
They’re the remenants of the first league.
@@Zadrias6386 fanatic xenophobic egalitarian authoritarian militarist
They are the senate from starwars 😅
That, and subsequent actions and rationales, paint the Freedonians as delusional and quite possibly psychotic. 14:29 The leader dies of old age? Clearly a political hit job. To war! =9[.]9=
Me: A nice, good guy play through.
Montu: Then we designed a menacing destroyer.
Me: Hold up
It was the only way...
@@MontuPlays Democracy works better in a world of pure consciousness anyway. Right?
@@jacobwiens659 I think it actualy does.
@@jacobwiens659 Hives are truly fanatic Egaliterien
@@jacobwiens659 Democracy only works when there is only one Democracy.
If you take the Sol void dweller start you have Mars as a Terraforming candidate and could get at least one planet and get an Ecu.
I guess the more stars on the system the more planets will be in total on the system?
If you take sol void dweller you don't have earth as a planet though
Iwas hoping to find Sol in-game. Sadly that wasn't to be!
Wasn't VD origin changed to have a set system now? I would always choose random trinary system for VD origin, but last I checked, the VD origin now fixes the start system.
@@jameshildebrand907 there is a unique sol start for void dwellers
Those three ships being left as the last life in the Galaxy would be a really interesting story
I imagine their first project is to retrofit one of their ships into a miner. Then use those alloys to make mining stations. With mineral income you set up the first alloy production. To build starbases. Around every Black hole In the galaxy. First as habitation and food production facilities, then as a fortress to watch over the many habitats you build.
If those ships lack a basic hydroponics system or any kind of emergency seed facility on board
Death to them all. They don't even allow AI to exist.
I am curious where the Sentinels went given the scourge was dominating the galaxy.
Birch world start if Montu uses that mod?
Totally, kind of like the Quiet Rapture from Iron Lung (although this rapture was anything but quiet) where they're the shattered remnants of a merc company desperately trying to survive in a barren and bleak galaxy with their resources dwindling.
@@StarboyXL9 You know I don't think they'd be that angry towards their brethren who ascended. They would see it as their mission to be a bastion of freedom in physical form so they would be xenophobic spiritualist equalitarians I feel like. They wouldn't trust other civilizations because their home civilization also gave up on them, they would look up to the members of their civilization which ascended previously, and they would still wish equality for all.
They traveled to the center of the galaxy and built a world around the black hole at the center of the galaxy, and isolated themselves. Over time life began to mutate again in the galaxy but they are all live exclusively in the habitats that were abandoned by the mercenary company.
Though they regressed over the long years, they could be considered a fallen empire that wishes for nothing more than isolation for the first 100-150 years.
How does this sound for lore of a sequel?
@@StarboyXL9 Exactly what I thought of. Thats what happened, someone in the galaxy finished the engine but few ships didnt get deleted
When faced by a horde of extragalactic aliens eating everyone, the geckos took their ball and went to a different home.
The only sensible option really...
God Overlord turned the one-system strat from a challenge to a serious option
It was like playing with both hands tied behind my back at times, but I definitely enjoyed it!
@@MontuPlays I had a really fun game playing a Doomsday start, but not doing a military rush ignoring that meta.
It was satisfying to save everyone and thanks to a L-gate, eventually I managed to break out despite being hemmed in while federated and later dominated despite needing "just" pretexts like retaking a vassal/protectorates home worlds after they'd lost their "birthright".
@@MontuPlays When you couldn't take Fen Habbis, I felt that.
I love how talented montu is in the art of praising his own moral superiority. Srsly man, do you write a script beforehand? It's beautiful,
What can I say, it is a skill developed over many years...
he's british
@@sigmamaleaffirmationhypnob7340 developed since childhood
@@sigmamaleaffirmationhypnob7340 I think he grew up in Denmark, so knows about bringing home the bacon
@@sigmamaleaffirmationhypnob7340 Hes Bri'sh eh.
This was incredible, please for all that is good in the galaxy continue to do things like this!
I love how they progressively became more “evil” and focused on selfishness rather than any actual good reasoning like their early wars suggested. Incredible storytelling
On a side note, an entire galaxy of black holes sounds pretty terrifying. Even just exploring it would be nuts, since all the light comes from long dead stars and things would only get darker.
Without light, you'd be incapable of detecting them without a secondary observer detecting changes in movement due to gravity
@@Pax.Britannica you know you can detect gravitational orbits and fields to understand where the black hole is?
@@warrioremperor6320 so in order to know where the black hole is you have to use something simliar to radar device on submarine pinging where everything is, so realistically space warfare would be like submarine warface essentially?.
Thanks for the genuine content as always! You are now offered a federation seat with the Koreans!
감사합니다 제 영상이 마음에 드셨으면 좋겠습니다.
Hold up, Montu speaks Korean?
I leave for a few weeks and come back to find Montu has become Mr. Worldwide?
@@StarboyXL9 Don't you know, best Korea will make us all speak it sooner or later. So sayeth the man.
@@StarboyXL9 i think he used google translate
I love the whole 'communication issues' thing. And throwing the one diplomat in an insane asylum because he was talking about the Scourge.
Wait... We're the Scourge the good guys preventing you from destroying all life?
"We can't own anything but our own 1 system"
this is gonna result in a lot of vassels isn't it?
My fav way of doing this is using a mod that gives me horizon signal
@@mryellow6918 or just get horizon signal
Every time I do this I get 4-7 habitable worlds.
Can confirm there were a few of these around!
i colonize everything i see even if habitability is 0%
@@armando429046 "But sir- this land is a molten wastelan-"
" *DID I STUTTER?!* "
@@beanos8024 cue sseth's colonization of a gas giant
Beanos in Starsector Molten worlds are great for Mining and Heavy industries, would be interesting if they implemented a similar thing that makes it hard to inhabit early game but once the ball is rolling could turn into a world not as good as a ecumenopolis but a baby version
Did you know that with nemesis dlc when the crisis is on you can do a special spy operation on other empires that deploys a crisis beacon on their home system that diverge the crisis towards them?
As a side note, it doesn't have to be the end-game crisis. You can do that with any crisis. I sometimes like to rush L-Gates, and if I get the Nanite Fleets, I just order them around to destroy my neighbors XD.
@@B3RyL yeah that is why i dindt said end game crisis but it is good to clarify
Those 3 ships must feel great having a whole galaxy for themself.
Now here is my challenge: do the ultimate xenophobe run, and never ever send any ships outside your system. Do not participate in any first contact procedure, diplomatic actions and try to survive in this xeno galaxy!
A pompus purist playthrough could be fun to see
@@sirix500111 "We are not going to soil ourselves on xeno planets. Only our is clean enough for our pure bodies"
Are Pompus Purist and inward Perfection compatible? Might be a stupid question.
@@Higher-Ground No they aren't compatible sadly... I don't think it would be very good anyway 😅 but it would definitely fit the challenge I proposed.
@@Juhnte Yeah thats what ai was wondering, but I guess they are vastly different in terms of description, one is diplomatic and the other is more xenophobic.
That moment I saw menacing destroyer design, I knew how this is gonna end.
It almost flew right past me.
That moment when the only ones who tried to preserve the galaxy were the scourge themselves...
I mean iirc their name is literally survivors running from some unknown "hunters" and are the last of their species so it would make sense they would try to survive
The partially cut gameplay with a good chunk of lore/RP narration is a really nice type of video. Good job!
Truly a heartwarming story of tenacity, respect, and equality. I can only our galaxy has such a just conclusion!
I love how montu is single handedly carrying the under appreciated YT Stellaris lore community
I love these story mode videos. Great job
Glad you like them! There should be more to come, in a more regular way, very soon!
This one was a nail-biter, but was so fun to watch!
Thank you for the video
Glad you enjoyed it!
I would love a followup playthrough with those 3 ships.
This is an absolutely inspiring amount of roleplay. Stellaris at it’s best. Videos like this make me want to take notes on my next Stellaris game and write up a fictional story. Keep up the great work Montu!
Great video, was specifically waiting for single player role play oriented playthrough!
As a suggestion for improvement, please also show a bit how your are managing your empire, e.g. what buildings your are buildings, what techs you are researching, how is the development of your worlds coming along etc.
I feel like an amazing sci-fi series could be made of those last three ships....
Jokes aside, the location of the crisis was actually pretty perfect for defending against - a really nice choke point so they can't spread out in all directions.
At first I thought it was yet another "1 planet challenge" and my reaction was "meh". Then I realized this is a "1 system challenge" and I was intrigued 😶
Prethoryn Scourge be like: "Glarp, are we the goodies?"
"Ah, yes, Reapers." Why did you have to give me flashbacks to the first time I saw that scene?
- Plays as neoliberals
- Galactic community forms
"Rules and regulations should come in for free trade"
Wut. (15:31)
Took me a while to get through but this was a blast. Well done. Didn't expect the crisis perk honestly.
What a great first video as a full time youtuber! I started playing Stellaris 3 weeks ago and currently have 60 hours in the game, and your content really helped me get a grasp on everything in the game. But it still took me 50 hours to learn I can shift click to queue up science ship survey and construction ship builds lol.
Glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you're enjoying the game! I'm actually not quite a full-timer yet. My current full-time job ends at the end of this month!
You want freedom? No? Ok here's some anyways
Clearly some species just don't know what is good for them...
Those last few ships must have been crewed by all the monks and rogues that have evasion.
I've done this with a twist using PD and the planetary habitats sub mod, I RP'd that FTL was a dead end for humanity and so they spec'd hard into figuring out how to colonize and utilize their solar system to the fullest. the first run ended with mass starvation and a slow extinction as Earth FED declared martial law system-wide. In the end, Humanity did not fall to Xeno's threat or the cruelty of the universe but to our inability to band together in the darkest of times. My second run went smashingly survived and thrived long enough for aliens to find me and "sell" me FTL, at which point I went ham.
Have you ever read the Three Body Problem sci-fi book series? The story goes in depth on a lot of those aspects, if the concept is interesting to you.
I love how you can now subsidiarize hive minds, I imagine you just dropped a bunch of cargo pods of xIpads on their planets and they just start chewing on them
52:25 Iron Lung lore
Man, this take me back to XPGamers old stellaris runs with those news posts, keep it up montu. Love the RP
Last time I did this I shot myself by accepting the Worm event. It switched my planets mineral district number when I was lithoid and I could never recover the minerals.
"I say the whole galaxy must learn of our peaceful ways...
by force!"
those 3 ships will become 3 orbital habitats and the cycle will begin anew
This is great! I must sayI liked that narrated short version. I would love to watch full version! For a beginner like me this is priceless source of knowledge
Such a great format of a video! Well done! Loved it!
Fantastic video Montu. Definitely gonna liberate the like button. I can't believe Jeff decided to leave freedom behind.
glad you are back montu hope you had a nice holiday. been watching all of the tier lists and videos trying to teach my brothers how to play the game and using your vids as reference it's been going midly well but hopefully one day i can play a game where i don't have to pause and explain 24/7 lols
I loved this, just wish it was longer. Really good job!
dude is like
one system challenge
also goes Corporate having buildings outside of his system HRMMMMM
Modded 1-system challenge, especially with gigastructures, is really fun. Like Stellaris skyblock.
Another great story-playthrough. Thanks for making it for us all to watch!
The ending would actually make for a really cool science fiction story. A civilization so advanced, it consumed the galaxy in order to ascend to another a higher state of being... except for one fleet, which had somehow been 'spared' by the event. Now they desperately look to find any shred of civilization, of life. Nothing but black holes and asteroid fields which were once planets...
loved this one. It was pretty funny, very well done. I really enjoy when you role play these videos.😊
That was awesome! Had me cracking up all the way through.
I love your role playing and the story building you create for each empire is something that I truly appreciate. Because I always come up with a back story for my empires and do a little role play
Top tier content Montu!
When you play so well, you accidentally include a possible backstory for game called "Iron Lung" :D Extra cherry on the cake.
Key to the one system challenge:
1) Make sure your starting system has a lot of planets
2) Hire a shit-ton of science ships
3) Find a black hole system
4) Move them in and out of the system constantly until you get the worm event chain
5) Complete the event chain and accept the worm
6) Profit
Not sure if this exploit still works, but aspec did it a while back and I tried it. It was fun.
Nope, They patched the Worm, So now its pure luck.
@@ace_the_race9340 well that’s no fun
@@owenhardy7035 You mean its no longer completely and utterly broken? Then youre right.
@@ace_the_race9340 I liked doing the worm event chain because of how funny and utterly ridiculous it was, now it’s gonna be so much harder to get it.
@@owenhardy7035 Yeah but it was totally unfair in multiplayer so I understand why they did it.
The hypocrisy of the freedonians was way too realistic
this video deserver more views for the great work put into this video!
Love these Montu, even though you are small you are amazing!
The reason I love this channel is because these videos play out like years and decades of important yet brief newscasts, compiled into a single historical document.
this is awesome! Love it!
I can already see a series akin to Battle Star Galactica about those 3 remaining ships searching the universe to find a new home.
The room you chose for your species makes it look like they're wearing top hats and now I can't unsee it.
The ending, no stars, no planers, no life, leaving 3 ships behind, is basically the lore of Iron Lung.
This is truly a work of art, well done!
love this format
"In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only freedom." ~ Lord Protector Florence Windermere
"We finally free them from themselves." ~ Ziiran saying of ascension
I'm pretty sure you sneaked in a Boris-impression midway through the video, oh Montu you
In all seriousness, I really like the way this series is presented, having a niche (not even a handicap, just some interesting premise to play around) as the crux of a story is something Stellaris definitely excels at
"we must conquer others to enure freedom" sounds awfully familiar 😂
"and to further the universal rights of all sentient life!" Hmm, last time I heard that phrase, well it did not end well.
Loved it, thanks again! :) Really enjoying your vids! I much preferred this format, where there was the same really fun role-play storytelling, but with most of the visuals in-game rather than 'art', if you get me - just my opinion though. Also I appreciate it when you show the full screen every now and then, so I can see what state your economy (etc) is in :)
Also really loved the 'emergency broadcast signal' at around 33:00 :)
Well that went predictably off-the-rails. :D
Oh wow, just finished the vid, that ending was perfect.
"Next, we'll add two shots of roleplay!"
*upends the bottle into the game*
An amazing story you created there. If you turned it into a book series, I'd totally buy it. 🙂
Well done. Now I'm curious what happened to those stragglers who survived the activation of the Aetherophasic Engine. If only Stellaris let you customize Fallen Empires: the only things left surviving the last galactic catastrophe become the new superpower after the galaxy recovers.
^_^
i like to think they rebuilt their empire as ships of that size do have enough people for healthy repopulation and enough engineers to rebuild all scavenged tech left behind and maybe some day draw the energy from the black holes now sustaining their energy needs to join their kin in the shroud
I liked the narration style. Reminds me of the wonder in stellaris, sometimes i just start speeding through and only reading the tool tips.
This must have taken a ton of work, and it shows. Amazing watch
This was some pretty great story telling!
To those few remaining ships, crazy to think, the night sky would be nigh on pitch black. With absolutely ZERO light pollution, I'm not sure if you would be able to see neighboring galaxies with the naked eye. Maybe they go sorta Vong and start flying to a new galaxy?
I love the fact that, occasionally, when the ruler bobs his head forward, the the top of that pillar in the background looks like a top hat on his head.
Really liked this format, found it fun to as entertainment rather rather than learning something about the game.
You can continue this by doing another series as the people from the Cerberus Spearhead ships that survived (Lost colony origin maybe) and use a mod to make them more powerful then the rest of the galaxy and see how they progress
The Freedonians: We are defending democracy, not practicing it.
Huge fan of the narration here, cool roleplay scenario.
A timeless classic.... I laughed... I cried... It was better than Cats.
Im in the process of doing this, but the rule is not a single ship can leave the system.
I've seen a random empire become a one system thing surrounded by other AI that couldn't take it down.
I am indeed interested in the story of those 3 ships in the end, lol
I’ll speculate this Cerberus spearhead after transcendence will (like the scourge crisis) moved to another galaxy start an new empire.
Maybe... Maybe the anathema towards planetary settling is born of this cycle, this galaxy-ending, cyclical pattern that envelops their people.
I really wish you'd do a tall challenge that *doesn't* involve subjects at all, and where you're never allowed to declare wars or take anything in wars.
the fact you meet the uk is just amazing
also would the freedom front be at all related to the freedom front of judea? rivals to the judean peoples front, the peoples front of judea, and the judean popular peoples front
Hail, Hail, Freedonia, land of the free!
you know a RP run is gonna be based when the Mean Time to Quoting Starship Troopers-a key Stellaris metric-is less than five minutes.
So glad you did this! Awesome!
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@MontuPlays for sure! I definitely failed this challenge when I tried lol
late but...
love the roleplaying and storytelling even more than the challengue itself
Great stuff. Very entertaining.
